Major Vent: Almost walked off the job today.

What a horrible tale, Anne. What an awful situation to have to work in the middle of. I know what that is like all right.

I don't have any suggestions that might help. All I can say is, my cats and I are sending you our best wishes and purrs. When people there make you feel really bad, remember all your Pet Talk friends sending you our caring and encouraging thoughts and energies.

Hmmm. Sounds like they are a couple of bums.
And there's nowhere else you can take your grievances ???
What about a lawyer ?? Surely there's something you can get them on for workplace discrimination.
If these idiots have posted stuff that isn't true about you on Facebook of all places, then isn't that libel ??

No, not that type of facebook problem. That would be easy.

A student created and imposter facebook profile for me last year, then invited another student to "friend" me. The very next day I was in trouble.

Oh I yelled.

I don't have enough sick days to take a sabbatical and still get paid.

To solve the facebook problem, I have to pay a lawyer to investigate. The union rep will not investigate unless you are fired or suspended without pay.

I can file a grievance procedure which is next on my list. The union rep will help me do that.

They have however submitted disciplinary reports against me that contain falsehoods. I had hoped that if I hung in there, they would quit, but I was wrong.

I'll keep y'all posted.

In the meantime, he submitted me for formal review which means my workload tripled. I complained about it and he added more to my workload. The complaint was supposed to be between and the supervising evaluator who is supposed to be sworn to secrecy.

And he is nitpicking on observations.

I work for idiots and ba$tard$.

Thank you so much.

I need to get a picture or two and throw darts at home. I have magnetic ones so the kitties won't get skewered.

I hope your union rep gets you off to a good start, and that things can move forward from there. Does the union have a lawyer that could help also?

Good luck! I hope those eejits get what's coming to them!

Go for it Anne. As soon as you see an opening, go straight for the throat.
